Measures for the boll weevil threat in Georgia cotton
A 1908 Texas loss report frames the Mexican boll weevil as a national pest. It traces history from 1866, notes spread to Texas and near Brownsville, and outlines early suppression ideas including removing squares and early harvests. It urges Georgia to monitor, fumigate seed, and plant early to limit damage and protect mills and farmers.
